COERCION DENOUNCED.
Twenty-eight Prominent Liberals Sign
Vigorous Protest

Vigorous Protest.
LONDON, July 25-A protest against the
Irish crimes act amendment bill the coer-
cion bilD has been issued over the signatures
OF the Earl of Granville and twenty weight
Liberal people, including the Earl of Rose
berry, Marquis of ltipen, Earl of Kimberly,
and Earl Spencer. The protest denounces
the act as a source of lasting irritation, and
of hatred and mistrust of the law, and de-
ciares that the measure deprives Irishmen
Of individual rights and creates and stimu-
lates the growth of secret societies.
In the House of Commons this
evening Mr.. Morley asked what had
happened to explain the proclamation
ment had assured the House that it was as
well obeyed in some parts of Ireland as in
any part of Great Britain.
MIR. BalfOur, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
replied that he had no reason to change his
opinion that parts of Ireland were
as quiet as parts of England.
What the Government had done
was not to apply the whole crimes act to
Ireland generally, but only sub-sections
dealing with rioting, unlawful assemblies
and Instructions of the police
Mr.. Sexton asked whether the Executive,
before issuing the proclamation, distinguish
ed the counties where it was necessary to
prevent crime from those where it was
necessary to punish crime
Mr.. Balfour said that in every case in
which the county had been specially pro-
claimed the proclamation had been issued
because the government believed i'll the
actual existence of crime or intimidation.
THE LAND BILL.
The House then went into committee on
the land bill Upon taking up the first
cio.tso ax-tan1i,cr tO laaCarS tho hanpfStS of
the act of 1881, Mr.. Parnell proposed an
amendment. The bill, as it stands, gives
the option to a tenant or landlord to make
application to the court to fix the rent. Mr..
Parnell urged that the tenant alone should
have the right to apply the period of such
applications to be limited to three years.
Mr.. Balfour accepted the amendment
with limit of two years, Mr.. Parnell
agreeing.
Mr.. Parnell proposed to extend the opera
tion of the clause to all leases, except those
in perpetuity
Mr.. Chamberlain supported the proposal,
but the government opposed it, and it was
negatived. The government amendment,
extending the term to ninety-nine years,
was agreed to.
SUPPRESSION OF THE LEAGUE.
The Cabinet council to-day considered the
reports submitted by Mr. Balfour on the
proposed suppression of the National League.
The Cabinet approved the proclamations,
but postponed all further application of the
crimes act until the effect of the proclama-
tions has been seen.
The Dublin Executive advises the prose
cution of William O'Brien for the speech he
made yesterday at Luggacurran i'll which
he incited the people to defy the act. An
Inspector of Police warned Mr.. O'Brien be-
fore he began his speech.
The Radical UnionistS are incensed at the
government for putting the act into whole
sale operation without consultation or CON
cert with the UnionistS. Mr.. Chamberlain
has warned the government that the Radi-
cal vote will not support their action unless
the Dublin Executive directed the exercise
of the powers OF the act with mildnesS and
discretion.
Mr. BaIfour's explanation in the House of
Commons shows that the warning has been
accepted The proclamatOns over the
greater area of Ireland are not operated ac-
lively but as mere measures Of prccautlon.
The Parnellites propose TO raise the debate
tomorrow, attacking the proclamations by
a motion to adjourn.
TYNDALLS AETI-GLADsToNE SCREEDs.
Prof. Tyndall publishes another anti
Glad>ton, letter, making the candidacy Of
Sil-G. y. Trevelyan on the Liberal ticket for
the Biidgcton division OF Glasgow the occa-
sion. Prot. Tyndall uses the following Ian
guage. Something has been gained for
the cause of healthy political action
when Sir George o. Treyelyan. whose
presence hitherto has been dry rot
in the tissues of Unionism, takes his proper
place under his appropriate master. i must
renew my solemn protest against the scat
tered Loyalists of Ireland being handed
over to the tender merces of the Romish
hierarch and tie Irish National League.
We're necessity to arise would he prepared
TO 20 beyOnd mere protest against SO
infamous conSummation. To what pass
have we come! Liberal England and Lib
eral Scotland folled in the meshes of one
perverted intellect. Sir George .. Trevelyan
has abandoned the company OF men OF
truth and honor to follow the fortunes OF
hoarv rhetor.can who sets at naught the
nloinest dictates of political morality"
Constable Underwood, of Mas, County
Kildare, Ireland, has resigned AS protest
against Che crimes act. His departure for
dublin was made the occasion for de-
monstration.
County of Antrim has been proclaimed
under the crimes act.
